long neck?
I'm wondering what the advantage is (if there is one) over having a longneck frame. I'm looking to get a kris holm 20" but im not sure to go for the long neck frame or not. -- streetcycalist ------------------------------------------------------------------------ streetcycalist's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/18396 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/74367 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

long neck?
The primary reason for a longneck frame is that it puts the seat clamp up out of the way so it won't get caught on your pants or smack you in the knees while doing tricks. Right now my right knee is telling me I shoulda bought one, lol. It also looks kinda cool..... -- OneWheelLess Seriously, the other wheel just fell off one day. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ OneWheelLess's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/16793 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/74367 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

It's lighter when you run a cromo post, as you can cut it down. There is no downside, so for the same price I would get it which I did, and I love mine. -- wickedbob R.I.P MITCH HEDBERG 'Add wickedbob to your ignore list' (http://tinyurl.com/3dfrko).

ok thanks guys, but i saw the kris holm 20" on bike island but i couldnt find the long neck frame one on there, im not sure if its that they dont have it or my lack of skill with computers again. Considering they have the cheapest price on this uni besides used ones, if they dont have the long neck one then ill just settle for the short neck one because i dont wana pay an extra $100 on a different site just for that frame. -- streetcycalist ------------------------------------------------------------------------ streetcycalist's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/18396 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/74367 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

I always feel like a longneck frame will snap easier than a regular frame. But Kris increased the thickness at that connection, so it should be fine. -- Jerrick '*50$ /$549.99*' (http://tinyurl.com/6ywusa)[SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jerrick's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/11632 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/74367 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

Why would a longneck frame snap easier? I don't think it will. I guess the neck of the frame has a bigger chance of snapping but not at the weld spot. -- peleschramm http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=peleproductions unicycle for atheism and Spencer. www.bedfordunicycles.ca BillyTheMountain for President. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ peleschramm's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/14077 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/74367 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

Yeah, if it were to stap i would think it would be near the seatpost clamp area. Depending on how long the seatpost is on this inside. -- SHAY_CAM *UNICYCLE FOR _YOURSELF._ * ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SHAY_CAM's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/16229 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/74367 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

SHAY_CAM;1134248 wrote: Yeah, if it were to stap i would think it would be near the seatpost clamp area. Now, why would you think that? The neck is effectively double-thickness near the seatpost clamp, due to the seat post being inside the neck at that point. Furthermore, the axis of rotation for any forces applied to the seat would be where the neck meets the frame, just above the tire.
